Take some time this Mother’s Day to spend an afternoon with your favorite princess and throw a Princess Tea party! I came across this adorable book and had to try some things out! Author Janeen A. Sherman has given some pointers for the perfect Princess Tea party this May and there are some super cute recipes provided below from the Fairy Princess Tea Chapter, the book also has great little crafts to make, such as how to make fairy-tale books and magic mirrors!

Little girls are crazy about princesses! With Princess Tea, party-planning parents of their own little princesses can pull together nine different enchanting tea parties. Vibrant color photos provide inspiration, and brief instructions make simple crafts, decorations, and dainty edibles easy for anyone to accomplish.

From Lotus Princess Tea to Cowgirl Princess Tea, each themed party is paired with recipes for tea, snacks, and dessert. Fairy Princesses can make their own magic wands, while Underwater Princesses feast on Buttered Sea Shells. Princess Tea is full of fun, fresh, and festive ideas to help grandmothers, mothers, and friends spend quality time with their little girls to plan, create and host magical birthday, holiday, or any day parties that a little princess will never forget.

Janeen gave me some great tips for your Mother’s Day Tea this May: “First thing to consider when planning a mother/daughter tea party in May (which is the perfect time for such an occasion,) is to keep it simple and appropriate for the venue. Depending on the age of your daughter and time, you can make the living/dining room or the porch festive simply by cutting a few branches of cherry or apple blossoms, placing them in vases for ambiance. OR you might want to make it elaborate with hand crafted flowers with bows and ribbons. In either case, bring out your prettiest plates, cups and saucers and pick up some pretty pink napkins to make the party a special one.”

Little Princes can also have a wonderful time with Mom and Sister! Janeen has both a son and a daughter, “Both have often had tea around the coffee table in our living room as kids growing up. I might add that as grown up’s they have also continued the ritual of tea in the afternoon… my grandmother is smiling down at them I’m sure.”

Pick up fresh croissants at the bakery or supermarket. To Create an angel, you’ll cut eh finished turkey-filled croissants in half to form wings on a plate and use the Airy Egg Salad Cream Puffs (recipe follows) for the bodies.
